The xp would be dependent upon the level of the group facing the orc. To double check, I also ran your orc through Upper Krusts system (v5) to compare, again the differences between 3.5 and pathfinder should be minimal, though I didn't know how to evalutae the ferocity ability so the numbers might be a little low (possibly a thenth or two-tenths) and I'm presuming that orc's do not get any racial bonus's in pathfinder. That orc has 1319gp of equipment, is a level 4 warrior, light sensitivity, with 65 (64 pre level 4 bonus) total attributes, so that comes out to a CR of 3.270686, or a 2.780083 if you use U.K.'s optional "Silver Rule" (Which is something meant to balance between disparities between PC's and monsters at non-epic vs. epic levels, I don't really understand it.) As a character it would have a ECL of 3.270686 (same as the CR in this case) or 1.930083 under that "Silver Rule" thingy. By himself, he would be an EL 7 (or 6 under the Silver Rule) one-on-one or an EL 3 against a party of 4 characters, which would be a "Difficult" or "Henchmen" encounter for a party of 4 1st level characters with a 75% estimated chance of party victory and should use about 50% of their resources and would give them each 150xp. Of course the "challenge pack" stuff you mentioned would definately change that. cheers, Gecko ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 22 Apr 2011 to 23 Apr 2011 (#2011-28) ***************************************************************
